Work at home mom is something very relevant nowadays. We want to be focused on our kids and family but at the same time we want to be financially stable and we also want to provide for our family.
Most of the SAHM struggles are they feel unworthy, unappreciated and useless. It is because they feel like their job is “JUST A HOUSEWIFE”
I, myself once felt the same way. I feel like, even I did everything that I could, and yet, it feels like something is missing.
There are times that I don’t feel myself anymore, I am mentally, physically and emotionally drained. After a long tiring day, I would lay my head down and thoughts still running inside my mind. Like, “How will I able to chase my dreams ?”, “I should wake up early to do the laundry” “Thinking about what to feed my kids” How can I help my husband financially” and et cetera.
I see others busy aiming for their goals while I am busy taking care of my family and their needs.
It happens every day and every night, my life cycle is having the same routine. I am already physically tired, but my mind doesn’t coordinate.
You wake up, we work non stop around the house, we do the laundry, we cook, we clean, we take care of the kids at the same time. These could be all exhausting, isolating and frustrating.
And at the end of the day, you are so sure that these things will happen again the next day. These are most of the SAHM feels.
But with all these thoughts and whining I have, I always thank God for giving me the privileged to be a mother of two and a wife for my supportive husband.
When I feel unappreciated, I know my family appreciates me
When I feel unworthy, I know my family sees my worth
When I feel useless, I know my family sees me valuable
These tiny little hands and every time they said mom, I know I am their world
It could be all exhausting however watching their milestones are priceless.
SAHM, there is a lot that we could do. Our jobs are surprisingly overwhelming and isolating but to our family, we are their world. We can still be successful mothers while we take care of our family.
We can work online jobs, start a business or et cetera.
When I decided to be a WAHM, I never thought it would be so much easier. Yes, you need to sacrifice the time because you need to work after you finished all the house chores. You will even work when you find a time at least a minute or two. You are indeed restless, however, there is an excitement because you are a SAHM and you know that you are doing something that you want.
They may be busy aiming their goals, but for you, you are doing great mommy! Sacrifices and struggles, these are nothing seeing your family happy and contented.
Our job as a SAHM is rewarding, and what matters to us is that we see our babies’ milestones and we all know that we mothers are all they need.
